Susan Bones / OPEN
The Bones family had a table every year at the Mungo's Dinner. Susan had been attending since she was a little girl. The only time she didn't come was while she was at Hogwarts. Charity events were hardly her favorite evenings, but Susan came from an old and proud family. She was expected to behave a certain way and Aunt Amelia wouldn't want the family name to lose its power or standing.
Dressed in a simple navy blue gown with her red hair pulled back, Susan almost looked the part of society witch. But there were no diamonds in her ears, no stunning bracelets around her wrists. The only bit of jewelry she wore was the simple gold locket she wore every day that had belonged to Amelia.
Sitting at a table next to the Minister's, Susan sipped champagne while her father and mother discussed their plans for the winter. They were off to France. The Bones family never spent Christmas together. The Bones family never did much of anything together these days. Susan excused herself and slipped through the crowd towards the bar to fetch herself something stronger to drink.
